I've had my Nexus for nearly 3 months and yesterday I noticed the black strip (grille) that runs along the speaker was wobbly. I lightly rubbed my finger along it to see how lose it was and the next minute it has fallen out. I not had this phone very long, I've looked after this phone very well using a case and a tempered glass screen protector, and it's already breaking. Not good considering I spent nearly £600 on this! Has anyone else had similar problems?

You are not the first to have this happen, the last time I read a thread on this the owner got a replacement from Google. If you bought from huawei, good luck.

It happened to me, had mine for few months and one time when I pulled it out of my pocket the grill just wasn't there anymore. I bought it from Google and got it replaced with no issues, didn't have that issue so far after a few months with the second one.
Same thing has happened with me, although I've been using it for more than two years now.
Best part of this is, by "wasting" 2 minutes of any part of your day and adding the smallest amount of superglue to it, you will solve this immense problem 100% and then you can forget about having this issue ever again :silly:
UP!
I'm also looking for this grill.
Any solution?

I just got my nexus few days ago from my friend who just came from America. I am happy with it. Today I installed an app to check dead pixel and what I found was yellow spot around the corners, it seems like the screws are too tight causing the yellow spot. What I mean by yellow spot is something that happens when you press the screen with force.

(it can be clearly seen on bottom left corner)
I tried to open the cover and loosen the screws but it didn't help.
Does anyone here have the same problem and have the fix for it?
It's really annoying to see those yellow spots.
I guess no one has this problem.
And I have no way to return this nexus :crying

I have the same issue, but for now is only visible in high brightness level. I can live with it.
Exactly, and it is only visible when the background is black.
For now I can live with that but I am afraid it will get worse, do you think it will?

looks like really bad light bleed, bleed is when you can see uneven lighting along the edge of the display when looking at a dark image, if loosening the screws didn't help and you cant live with it gonna have to exchange or RMA..
I have no way no return my nexus 7, and I am not currently living in states. I got this nexus 7 from my friend. Well, I guess I have to live with it, until someone finds a proper fix.

In my Nexus 7 (C7O 8GB from playstore) appeared after 3 days of usage, and although it seems to be worse, I think it's not as bad as other issues seen here.
Sorry for my bad English.
Is there any sure fire way of resolving the Nexus 7 screen lift?
On past devices, I have tried the tightening the screws, using "make-shift washers", removing foam, etc. I am not willing to glue the screen to the bezel.
Is there a 100% Concrete resolution for this? The device that this was replacing was having touch input issues, but had NO screen lift. Honestly, this is beginning to frustrate me. I am appalled at the QC issues coming from these devices. For those that think people just ***** for no reason, and then suggest Apple, please don't. All other android devices I have received, I have never generally had any defaults (unless it was software which was fixable), which is why I am really disappointed with this. This is the fourth device I am on:
1st had screen lift
2nd had speed io, lag, and force close issues
3rd was fine for a week, and then I was getting touch input issues and the device was typing and launching applications on it's own
4th (current) has screen lift
Seriously, is there any sure fire way to fix it? Just for clarification, I just received this today, and opened it up less than 4 hours ago.
Some pictures (was unable to upload the pictures to XDA for whatever reason, kept getting complaints about a security token)

Really? Pull your hair out?
OMG
You have like a fraction of lift.
Go get your money back and buy your girl a nice dinner or a camera class (same price).
Some of you people amaze me.
send it back in, ask for a c9ok as replacement..
Hey i have a nexus 4 and have had it for over 3 months now, and i am already on my 5th defective device, i seriously can't take it, i had heard somewhere that if google keep sending me faulty devices then i am entitled to get my money back? I mean i am sick to death now of going back and forth sending phones to google and back, and each and everyone of them have faults? Has ANYONE been able to get a refund past the 15 day return period, and in what circumstance? Thanks!
What's been wrong with them?

Its not me, its the devices Coming from a One X that had many faults that i had to deal with, but seriously i can't take the one's on the nexus 4!
Man so many problems! I was wondering what I can do after 15 days as well. I have a squeaky power button and yesterday the phone had a hard time deciding if it wanted to connect to T-Mobile or not. I'm not sure if there is anything wrong with the phone to cause it from having connection issues or if it was just last night. The squeak should not be enough for me to send it back, but I'm scared that it is actually messed up and that it will break after 15 days. I'm on day 13
Hello guys, yesterday at night I noticed that a small spot on my screen wasn't working. It had J and N soft keys included, I got kind of mad, but just tried to reboot the phone, after rebooting it was fine again for some time, then it just stopped working again. I made a factory reset for the phone and just put it to charge while all the apps that I had were downloading. I wake up in the morning and bam, the vertical line, which used to be like a square on the lower side of screen is all throughout the screen now, rebooting doesn't help... I know that it's most likely a hardware problem, but this nexus is like 2-3 years old so no warranty for me so I'm looking for different solutions... Has anyone encountered this and knows how to solve it?

Soooo, I went outside to work, and when I come back BOOM it's working again, I'm happy, using the phone normally and then boom, massive unstoppable clicks began on one spot, they lasted for like 15seconds (they were all on a single spot) and when they stopped the stripe was dead again... I guess it's hardware playing with me but I'm less and less sure that it's the digitizer itself... Any ideas?
I guess your phone was dropped.
Coz my friend's were having similar symptoms. He took it to repair centres they said display need to be changed etc. He better purchased other cheaper android phone.

Had a similar issue. It will get progressively worse over time. I got mine RMAd by Google.

Soooo... My wife dropped her VS980 for the first time in 2 years. All seemed fine (hell I've dropped phones countless times) at least for an hour or two.
We got home and her screen started to do this:

So, I researched it and found that insulation of some screen components in the phone are very important to keep insulated. So I popped it open, and it looked fine. But I threw a piece of electrical tape between the components regardless:
Phone still does the lines. A few key notes: Dark backgrounds don't really affect it, turning brightness up high really sets it off, if I cycle the screen on and off it seems to go away, for a few seconds at least, before it starts creeping back into the screen.
Any thoughts? I was hoping if I powered down and left it inactive maybe it would give the LCD time to reset? Sounds stupid though. Could it be anything else? GPU? Bad luck?

Bought a new LCD from Fixez.com. Just arrived today. Hopefully this corrects the issues. I'll let you all know if it does.

UPDATE: The new screen worked perfectly. Took me about an hour, and was able to get it completely changed. Working great now. I hope this helps anyone troubleshooting screen issues!
